Denver Nuggets History In the year 1967, the city of Denver was treated to a gift that would forever change the city and the success of their professional sports teams. This came when the city of Denver, Colorado became home to the NBA team the Denver Rockets; a team that would eventually go on to become the Denver Nuggets and one of the most successful professional teams in the city. The Denver Nuggets today currently play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. Although they play in one of the most competitive conferences in the league; this has not stopped the Denver Nuggets from having a slue of successes both within their division and within the entire NBA.

Donning their powder blue and gold uniforms, the team takes the home court every home game ready to showcase their skills and talents in what can only be described as the Denver Nuggets experience. These home games take place in Denver at an arena known as the Pepsi Center. This home stadium of the Nuggets can hold more than 19,000 fans during home basketball games and spectators can always rest assured that the Nuggets will fill those seats every time they take the floor. This is because, above all things, the Denver Nuggets are known around the league for having one of the most enthusiastic followings of fans. However, just because the Nuggets play their home games at a massive arena such as the Pepsi Center, it doesn’t mean that getting tickets is always easy. In order to make sure you get tickets you will want to buy them in advance, as there are very few Nuggets fans who will pass up the chance to see this team play live when they are at home. Tickets are designed to start at affordable prices, but they notoriously sell out quickly season after season.

If you are looking to see some of the new talent that the Denver Nuggets have acquired and see their signature fast action style of play then as a fan, you will not want to wait on getting Denver Nuggets tickets. With your tickets in hand you will be able to see the Nuggets live and see them take on their Division rivals and other top players in the team up close and personal in an experience that won’t soon be forgotten.

The Origins of All 30 NBA Team Names | Mental Floss The Origins of All 30 NBA Team Names Getty Images Like us on Facebook The Hornets were supposed to be the Spirit, while the Grizzlies were almost named the Mounties. Why is a team in Los Angeles nicknamed the Lakers, and what's a team called the Jazz doing in Utah? Here's the story behind the nicknames of all 30 teams. Atlanta Hawks Getty Images In 1948, the cities of Moline and Rock Island, IL, and Davenport, IA—collectively known as the Tri-Cities at the time—were awarded a team in the National Basketball League. The team was nicknamed the Blackhawks, who, like Chicago's hockey team, were named after the Sauk Indian Chief Black Hawk. When the team moved to Milwaukee in 1951, the nickname was shortened to Hawks.

The franchise retained the shortened moniker for subsequent moves to St. Louis and finally Atlanta in 1968. Boston Celtics Getty Images Team owner Walter Brown personally chose Celtics over Whirlwinds, Olympians, and Unicorns (yes, Unicorns) as the nickname for Boston's Basketball Association of America team in 1946. Despite the warnings of one of his publicity staffers, who told Brown, "No team with an Irish name has ever won a damned thing in Boston," Brown liked the winning tradition of the nickname; the New York Celtics were a successful franchise during the 1920s. Brooklyn Nets Getty Images The New Jersey Americans joined the American Basketball Association in 1967 and moved to New York the following season. The team was renamed the New York Nets, which conveniently rhymed with Jets and Mets, two of the Big Apple's other professional franchises. Before the 1977-78 season, the team returned to New Jersey but kept its nickname. In 1994, the Nets were reportedly considering changing their nickname to the Swamp Dragons to boost its marketing efforts. The franchise relocated to Brooklyn in 2012.

Charlotte Hornets Getty Images The three finalists in the name-the-team contest for Charlotte's 2004 expansion franchise were Bobcats, Dragons, and Flight. Owner Bob Johnson was fond of BOBcats, but some of the league's players were less than impressed. "It sounds like a girls' softball team to me," Steve Kerr told reporters at the time. "I guess it shows there aren't many good nicknames left to be had." Perhaps Kerr was right. Bobcats became the Charlotte Hornets in 2014, reuniting the city with its previous NBA franchise's original nickname. Where did Hornets come from? In 1987, George Shinn and his ownership group announced that Spirit would be the nickname of Charlotte's prospective expansion franchise. Fans voiced their displeasure, and it didn't help that some fans associated the nickname with the PTL Club, a Charlotte-based evangelical Christian television program that was the subject of an investigative report by the Charlotte Observer for its fundraising activities. Shinn decided to sponsor a name-the-team contest and had fans vote on six finalists. More than 9000 ballots were cast and Hornets won by a landslide, beating out Knights, Cougars, Spirit, Crowns, and Stars.

Afterwards, Shinn noted that the nickname had some historical significance; during the Revolutionary War, a British commander reportedly referred to the area around Charlotte as a "hornet’s nest of rebellion." Chicago Bulls Getty Images According to the Chicago Bulls Encyclopedia, team owner Richard Klein was brainstorming nicknames for his new franchise in 1966 and wanted a name that portrayed Chicago's status as the meat capital of the world. Another theory is that Klein admired the strength and toughness of bulls. Klein was considering Matadors and Toreadors when his young son exclaimed, "Dad, that's a bunch of bull!" The rest is somewhat dubious history. Cleveland Cavaliers Getty Images Fans voted Cavaliers the team nickname in 1970 in a poll conducted by the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. The other finalists included Jays, Foresters, Towers, and Presidents. The Presidents nickname was presumably an allusion to the fact that seven former U.S. Presidents were born in Ohio, second only to Virginia.

Jerry Tomko, who suggested Cavaliers in the contest, wrote, "Cavaliers represent a group of daring fearless men, whose life pact was never surrender, no matter what the odds." (Tomko's son, Brett, went on to become a Major League pitcher.) Dallas Mavericks Getty Images A Dallas radio station sponsored a name-the-team contest and recommended the finalists to team owner Donald Carter, who ultimately chose Mavericks over Wranglers and Express. The 41 fans who suggested Mavericks each won a pair of tickets to the season opener and one of those fans, Carla Springer, won a drawing for season tickets. Springer, a freelance writer, said the nickname "represents the independent, flamboyant style of the Dallas people." That's certainly an apt description for current team owner Mark Cuban. Denver Nuggets Getty Images Denver's ABA team was originally known as the Rockets. When the team was preparing to move to the NBA in 1974, they needed a new nickname, as Rockets was already claimed by the franchise in Houston.

Nuggets, an allusion to the city's mining tradition and the Colorado Gold Rush during the late 1850s and early 1860s, was chosen via a name-the-team contest. Detroit Pistons Getty Images The Pistons trace their roots to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they were known as the Zollner Pistons. What's a Zollner Piston? A piston manufactured by then-team owner Fred Zollner, who named the club after his personal business. When the team moved to Detroit in 1957, Zollner dropped his name from the nickname but retained Pistons. The name was fitting for the Motor City. Golden State Warriors Getty Images The Philadelphia Warriors, named after the 1920s team that played in the American Basketball League, won the championship in the inaugural 1946-47 season of the Basketball Association of America. The Warriors moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco after the 1961-62 season and retained their nickname. When the team relocated across the Bay to Oakland in 1971, they were renamed the Golden State Warriors. Houston Rockets Getty Images The Houston Rockets originally called San Diego home.

Rockets was chosen via a name-the-team contest and was a reference to the city's theme, "A City In Motion." Liquid-fueled Atlas rockets were also being manufactured in San Diego. When the team moved to Houston in 1971, it made perfectly good sense to keep the name, as Houston was home to a NASA space center. Indiana Pacers Getty Images According to Michael Leo Donovan's book on team nicknames, Yankees to Fighting Irish: What's Behind Your Favorite Team's Name , the Pacers' nickname was decided upon in 1967 by the team's original investors, including attorney Richard Tinkham. The nickname is a reference to Indiana's rich harness and auto racing history. Pacing describes one of the main gaits for harness racing, while pace cars are used for auto races, such as the Indianapolis 500. Los Angeles Clippers Getty Images When the NBA's Buffalo Braves moved to San Diego in 1978, the owners wanted to rebrand the team with a new nickname. They settled on Clippers, a popular type of ship during the 19th century. San Diego had been home to the Conquistadors/Sails of the ABA during the 1970s.

Donald Sterling bought the Clippers during the 1981-82 season and relocated them to his native Los Angeles in 1984. He lost all respect in San Diego but kept the Clippers name. Los Angeles Lakers Getty Images How many natural lakes are there in Los Angeles? The short answer: Less than 10,000. When a pair of investors relocated the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League to Minneapolis before the 1947 season, they sought a name that would ring true with the team's new home. Given that Minnesota is "The Land of 10,000 Lakes," they settled on Lakers. When the Lakers moved to Los Angeles before the 1960 season, their nickname was retained, in part because of the tradition the team had established in Minnesota. Memphis Grizzlies Getty Images When Vancouver was awarded an expansion franchise in 1994 to begin play the following season, the team's owners had tentative plans to name the team the Mounties. The Royal Mounted Canadian Police and fans alike objected, so team officials resumed their search for a name.

The local newspaper sponsored a name-the-team contest, which club officials monitored before choosing Grizzlies, an indigenous species to the area, over Ravens. When the team relocated to Memphis before the 2001-02 season, FedEx was prepared to offer the Grizzlies $100 million to rename the team the Express, but the NBA rejected the proposal. Miami Heat Getty Images In October 1986, the owners of Miami's expansion franchise selected Stephanie Freed's Heat submission from more than 20,000 entries, which also included Sharks, Tornadoes, Beaches, and Barracudas. Milwaukee Bucks Getty Images Despite Wisconsin’s hunting tradition, the most popular entry in the contest to name Milwaukee’s NBA franchise wasn’t Bucks. It was Robins. The judges overruled the public and decided on a more indigenous (and much stronger) name. The choice could have been much worse: Skunks was among the other entries. Minnesota Timberwolves Getty Images The ownership group for Minnesota's prospective franchise chose Timberwolves through a name-the-team contest in 1986.

The nickname beat out Polars by a 2-1 margin in the final vote, which was conducted in 333 of the state's 842 city councils. Tim Pope, who was one of the first fans to nominate Timberwolves, won a trip to the NBA All-Star Game. Pope submitted 10 nicknames in all, including Gun Flints. "I thought a two-word name would win," he told a reporter. The most popular entry in the contest was Blizzard, but the team wanted a nickname that was more unique to its home state. "Minnesota is the only state in the lower 48 with free-roaming packs of timber wolves," a team official said. New Orleans Pelicans Getty Images Soon after Tom Benson purchased the New Orleans Hornets in 2012, the team announced they were going to change their name. According to Yahoo's Marc J. Spears , they "considered the nicknames Krewe (groups of costumed paraders in the annual Mardi Gras carnival in New Orleans) and Brass," but settled on Pelicans—after the brown pelican, Louisiana's state bird.

New York Knicks Getty Images The term "Knickerbockers" referred specifically to pants rolled up just below the knee by Dutch settlers in the New World during the 1600s. Many of these settlers found homes in and around New York City, where a cartoon drawing of Father Knickerbocker became a prominent symbol of the city. In 1845, baseball's first organized team was nicknamed the Knickerbocker Nine and the name was evoked again in 1946 when New York was granted a franchise in the Basketball Association of America. Team founder Ned Irish reportedly made the decision to call the team the Knickerbockers—supposedly after pulling the name out of a hat. Oklahoma City Thunder Getty Images When the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City after the 2007-08 season, fans voted on potential nicknames from an original list of 64 possibilities. Thunder was chosen over Renegades, Twisters, and Barons, and the name was extremely well received. The team set sales records for the first day after the nickname was revealed.

"There's just all kinds of good thunder images and thoughts, and the in-game experience of Thunder," team chairman Clay Bennett told reporters. The SuperSonics had been named for the Supersonic Transport (SST) project, which had been awarded to Boeing. The company has a large plant in the Seattle area. Orlando Magic Getty Images When the Orlando Sentinel sponsored a name-the-team contest for Orlando's prospective expansion franchise, Challengers—an allusion to the space shuttle that crashed in 1986—was the most popular suggestion. Other entries included Floridians, Juice, Orbits, Astronauts, Aquamen, and Sentinels, but the panel of judges, including Orlando team officials who reviewed the suggestions, decided to go with Magic. The name is an obvious nod to the tourism-rich city's main attraction, Disney World. Philadelphia 76ers Getty Images The Syracuse Nationals were relocated to the City of Brotherly Love in 1963 and the team was renamed the 76ers, an allusion to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776.

Phoenix Suns Getty Images General manager Jerry Colangelo, only 28 at the time, settled on a name for his expansion franchise using a name-the-team contest in 1968. Colangelo chose Suns over Scorpions, Rattlers, and Thunderbirds, among the other suggestions included in the 28,000 entries. One lucky fan won $1,000 and season tickets as part of the contest, which included such obscure entries as White Wing Doves, Sun Lovers, Poobahs, Dudes, and Cactus Giants. Portland Trail Blazers Getty Images In 1970, Portland was granted an expansion franchise in the NBA and team officials announced a name-the-team contest. Of the more than 10,000 entries, Pioneers was the most popular, but was ruled out because nearby Lewis & Clark College was already using the nickname. Another popular entry was Trail Blazers, whose logo is supposed to represent five players on one team playing against five players from another team. Sacramento Kings Getty Images The Kings' royal lineage stretches all the way back to the founding of the National Basketball League's Rochester Royals in 1945.

The Royals retained their nickname after a move to Cincinnati in 1957 and became the Kansas City-Omaha Kings (soon dropping the Omaha) through a name-the-team contest in 1972. The name remained unchanged when the franchise relocated to California in 1985. San Antonio Spurs Getty Images A group of San Antonio investors purchased the Dallas Chaparrals from the American Basketball Association in 1973 and decided to hold a public contest to rename the team. Five thousand entries with over 500 names were submitted. After reconsidering their first decision to call the team the Aztecs (several teams already used that name), the judges (investors and local press representatives) settled on Spurs. It may have just been a coincidence that one of the team's main investors, Red McCombs, was born in Spur, Texas. Toronto Raptors Getty Images The ownership group of Toronto's prospective expansion team conducted extensive marketing research across Canada in 1994 and held a nationwide vote that helped team officials come up with a list of potential nicknames. Raptors, which Jurassic Park helped popularize the year before, was eventually chosen over runners-up Bobcats and Dragons.

Utah Jazz Getty Images No, Utah isn't known for its Jazz. The team originated in New Orleans in 1974 and club officials decided to keep the name after relocating to Salt Lake City in 1979. The Jazz nickname was originally chosen through a name-the-team contest, which produced seven other finalists: Dukes, Crescents, Pilots, Cajuns, Blues, Deltas, and Knights. Deltas would've translated to Salt Lake City rather well (the airline of the same name has a hub there), while Cajuns may have been even worse than Jazz. Washington Wizards Getty Images In the early 1990s, Washington Bullets owner Abe Pollin was becoming frustrated with the association of his team's nickname and gun violence. After Pollin's friend, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, was assassinated, Pollin decided to take action and announced his plans to rename the team. (Though Dan Steinberg of D.C.

Sports Bog wrote a very detailed history of the name change, and called into question the impact Rabin's death had on the decision.) A name-the-team contest was held and fans voted on a list of finalists that included Wizards, Dragons, Express, Stallions, and Sea Dogs. Not long after Wizards was announced as the winning name before the 1997-98 season, the local NAACP chapter president complained that the nickname carried Ku Klux Klan associations. Previous nicknames for the franchise when they were still in Chicago include Packers and Zephyrs. The first version of this post was published in 2009.

Denver beats Memphis 87-80 for 11th straight win Denver beats Memphis 87-80 for 11th straight win PAT GRAHAM (AP Sports Writer) Share View photos DENVER, CO - MARCH 15: Wilson Chandler #21 of the Denver Nuggets rises for a dunk against Marc Gasol #33 of the Memphis Grizzlies on March 15, 2013 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images) More DENVER (AP) -- The Denver Nuggets plodded along for three quarters before beating Memphis at its own game. Hardly known as a half-court team, the high-flying Nuggets had to resort to set plays and setting picks to finally break free.

Turns out, they're pretty good at it, especially when they dump the ball inside to Kosta Koufos. Koufos scored 18 points and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds, helping the Nuggets rally to knock off the Grizzlies 87-80 on Friday night for their 11th straight victory, their longest streak in 30 years. This is definitely an offense Koufos could get used to. Only, he'd rather not. ''We want to maintain being a running team,'' the 7-foot center said. ''We need to keep going and attacking.'' That wasn't possible against the Grizzlies, the best defensive team in the league. They clogged the passing lanes and clamped down on fast breaks. The Nuggets were growing frustrated, too, and the crowd restless. The Nuggets hadn't been shut down like this in quite a while, especially at home, where they've now won 15 straight games to run their record at Pepsi Center to 30-3. Then along came Kenneth Faried, providing a much-needed spark with his energetic play.

The player known as ''Manimal'' was blocking shots, hustling for rebounds and pestering Zach Randolph, the Grizzlies' force up front who had 18 points and 18 rebounds. With the Nuggets trailing 66-58 heading into the fourth quarter, Faried helped them go on a 17-4 run and seize back the momentum. That's exactly why he's on the court. ''I saw my teammates were not their usual selves - guys weren't doing what they usually do,'' said Faried, who finished with eight points and four blocked shots. ''It seemed like we were in a struggle offensively, couldn't score the ball. I just played hard and brought some energy. I believed it helped tonight, gave a boost to my teammates.'' That it did. Winning this way also showed the Nuggets they can play any way necessary. ''I thought this was a good test for us,'' Nuggets coach George Karl said. ''I said at the beginning of the fourth quarter, 'This is good for us. We'll find out how we have to do it - can we do it?' ''I thought Kenneth was great.

I thought Kosta - those guys, in a big game, played at a very important level for us.'' The last time the Nuggets won 11 straight was Feb. 24 to March. 15, 1983. The Grizzlies, Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers are now tightly bunched in the race for the third seed in the Western Conference, with only a half-game separating the teams. ''We understand where the standings are at,'' said Mike Conley, whose team had its six-game winning streak snapped. ''But we still have 20 games left and anything can happen from there. We're just worried about tomorrow.'' This was a matchup of two of the hottest teams in the NBA not named the Miami Heat. It also was a game of contrasting styles, with Denver trying to push the pace and Memphis preferring to play at a more deliberate tempo. Early on, the Nuggets controlled the rhythm - and the game - as they led by as many as nine in the first half. Jerryd Bayless beat the buzzer with a layup just before halftime to send the Grizzlies into the locker room trailing just 48-47. After halftime, the Grizzlies began rolling by slowing things down.

They also turned the pressure up a notch and held Denver to a season-low 10 points in the third quarter to take a 66-58 lead. For three quarters, the Nuggets were lethargic and couldn't match the energy of Wednesday, when they thumped the New York Knicks in Carmelo Anthony's first return to the city since he was traded two years ago. Finally, they turned it on. ''You grow playing these kinds of games,'' said Danilo Gallinari, who finished with 15 points, including two free throws to break a tie with just over two minutes remaining. ''You cannot grow a lot when you're blowing out a team by 20 or 30. These are the kind of games that make you improve as a team.'' Marc Gasol couldn't agree more. ''I don't see it as a setback. We feel confident in the way we can play this team,'' said Gasol, who chipped in 14 points. ''We played this team well for 36 minutes. Then we tried to play their basketball. We kind of played that way for 12 minutes and they won.

But I think for 36 minutes we played good basketball but games last 48 minutes, not 36.'' Notes: The Grizzlies have been on a 15-5 roll since a three-team deal on Jan. 30 that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto and landed Tayshaun Prince in Memphis. ... Denver has won 26 of its last 28 home games against Memphis. ... The Nuggets are 28-3 when allowing 100 or fewer points. Reblog Denver Nuggets Tickets | NBA Tickets | TicketsNow!

By Sweet Honey DIva from Denver, CO on 2/19/2009 Pros: Good Concessions, Great Atmosphere, Stadium Packed, The Crowd Loved It Cons: Best For: Everyone, New To The Sport, Out-Of-Towners The game was exciting, we were given t-shirts and nuggets stuff with the tickets, the seats were not the best but comfortable. The Pepsi center is a nice facility conveniently located downtown. Parking is convenient and plenty of places to hang out before or after the game. Fun game!!!
